Landing Pages for Recruiters – Don’t Go Home!

When you invite prospective doctors to interview for positions in your hospital, do you show them to your lobby and leave them there for hours? Of course not!

Then, why do so many medical recruiters link their open positions to the home page of their website?

Be specific and create a landing page.

According to HubSpot, a landing page is a website page that allows you to capture a visitor’s information through a lead form. A good landing page will be targeted to a particular stream of traffic – say from an email campaign advertising an open position – and, because it is targeted, you will convert a higher percentage of your website visitors into leads with which you can follow-up.

Understand what to include in your lead form.

On your landing page, there should be a lead form. The goals of the lead form are simple:

Collect marketing information

Guide visitors through a process

Enable a transaction

Communicate

Verify identity

Manage customer support requests

For the purposes of medical recruiting, the recruitment form should also communicate the available job listings, allow the visitor to select the opening he or she desires and provide a resume.

Capture interest and don’t let go.

Here are some of the most important elements to make sure your landing page holds your visitor’s interest (courtesy of HubSpot):

Limit Navigation. You’ve brought your targeted traffic to a page where they can take your desired action. Don’t distract them! Limit the number of exits from your landing page so that your visitors are focused on filling out your form. A key part of this is to hide your website navigation elements on landing pages.

Deliver Value. If you have a valuable offer, your visitors will give up their contact information in exchange for your offer. Ask yourself if your offer is compelling to your audience and make sure that your landing pages demonstrates that value.

Keep it Short. The longer your landing page and form, the more friction you add to the lead conversion process. Keeping your lead form short and straightforward will increase your conversion rate.

Test, Test, Test. As many best practices as you may read about online, your landing page can always use more testing and improvement. Make sure you have a landing page creation toolthatallows you to create and test many different landing pages to see what works best for your business.
